Default Pic and vid request

I remember seeing on this forum a vid about some crazy street riders, they were european, but I believe it was not a part of the famous insane Greek riders from the Papastravou shop series of vids. Also in the thread, someone posted a picture captioned from the video, that showed one of the riders almost riding over the double yellow, just picking up his elbow inches away from touching a cage rearview mirror.

Does anyone know what I am talking about? Please help. TIA /26

No, it wasn't the Barges vid (Which is awesome BTW, I saw all 3 parts, why did you took them off Rob?). It was something that looked french though, but there where some shots from outside, it wasn't always onboard cameras, the guys wheeling on some backroads crossing the double yellow, etc.

And no, it wasn't the pair of crazy french guys on motards. The vid I'm talking about they rode sportbikes.

Im pretty sure it was that video, you are talking about the guy wearing yellow leathers that pulls his knee up to avoid clipping a car and his helmets comes centimeters from the rear view mirror.

That's the pic I was looking for! Someone on the thread got a caption of the exact part of the vid. I was look for that particular pic, but findind the vid would be nice.

I don't think it was the Barges though, because that series consisted of some brit magazine editors (Superbike magazine I believe) testing some twins (RC51, Tiller and Duc) on their way to the French GP, hooliganizing other french riders along the way, but it didn't had that part.
